Fashion that makes men feel good

One of the best things about fashion is how good it can make you feel. Now that the sun is finally out, Angela Poplett, Lakeside’s Personal Shopper, is here to help you pick the best new items for men from the rainbow of colour that’s filling the shops. It’s guaranteed to make you feel good.

“The designers are no longer just hinting at colour, they’re embracing it whole heartedly – and you should too. Have you ever noticed how people shower you with compliments when you break away from black and wear a show-stopping colour? This season, it’s going to be easier than ever to brighten up your wardrobe!

“For men the trend is neon and bright, clashing colours. Men are getting much more adventurous with fashion and this trend is a brilliant opportunity to start having some fun. It’s not expensive to give it a go, either, as Lakeside’s Primark is stocking some brilliant neon brights at their usual low prices.

“The mainstream spring/summer look for men seems set to be very casual; chinos and t-shirts. You can get the chinos from Zara or Brother2Brother in beige, navy, rust or ochre and I’d team with a bright and bold t-shirt from Jack & Jones. You could swap the chinos for coloured jeans, too – try Ted Baker in Lakeside’s House of Fraser for these.

“If you’re not sure about wearing so many colours, you can introduce them with bright belts, sunglasses and shoes, but my advice would be to just go for it! The brighter you go, the better you’ll feel.
